Senior🎓
Top SchoolClayton Dunavant is an embedded software engineer in San Francisco with 8 years of hands-on experience building reliable IoT systems and storage-aware firmware. He combines deep GNU+Linux and systems programming expertise (C/C++, Go, Python, Bash) with practical experience in flash and microSD storage, large-scale fleet management, and data-driven observability using AWS analytics. At Verkada he moved from an intern who patched and fuzz-tested Ext4 to a full engineer automating device recovery, health monitoring, and massive updates across fleets. A homelab and self-hosting advocate, he treats data ownership and infrastructure automation as first-class features, often tinkering at night to prototype resilient tooling. His background in creative writing and nonprofit leadership hints at clear communication and a pragmatic, community-oriented approach to engineering.
